hey, i've just posed on the tech section, but thinking now i've signed up and am not even sure where this forum is based. lol

My names Gareth and am from Wales, so wheres everyone from on here?
i currently drive a renaultsport clio but am in need of a winter car as the clio doesn't like snow, rain, speedbumbs and general foliage.

Welcome to the sickness!

I'm out of Washington State in the US myself. What year Clio do you have? The only thing I know about them is what I have seen on Top Gear.

Welcome. The 'beauty' of the internetz is that we don't have to be physically located close to each other to benefit. Many of us live miles and miles apart and will probably never meet but have developed good relationships all stemming from our love of the Suzuki 4x4 automobile.

The clio is a 2001, 2.0L 16v. that probably sounds tiny to americana's. currently producting 169bhp but over the winter i want to do a lot of work to it hopefully get close to the 200 mark.
only pic i've got of the clio on web below

i know its not too bad being on a forum with people all over the world, it just means theres a good chance no ones local to me and therefor no one to come offroading

thanks for the welcomes.

If you add up my Daily Driver (96 Tracker/Vitara), my race rig (92 Tracker/Vitara), and Trail Rig (84 SJ-410) I have more hp then you.

Nice looking rig, let us know what you find and post some more pictures.
